Week #3: Answers

Thursday, February 5, 2015

Thank for the great questions this week Jenny!

What do you do to cheer yourself up?
Besides the normal stuff: baths, wine, chocolate, Netflix… I like to have
something fun to look forward to. We love traveling so this is usually a
trip of some sort. It doesn’t have to be
a big one, even a weekend in Cannon Beach or the San Juan's is something that I
enjoy planning and it gives me something fun to think about during weeks like
this one when it’s pouring rain and dark before I leave work.

My quick trick for getting in a better mood is smiling,
even if it’s forced at first. I read once that smiling/laughing is proven to
alter the brain responses to stress and even releases endorphins that act as a
natural pain reliever. So if I’m in a
bad mood I’ll Google funny videos or meme’s just to get me to smile and laugh.

If you were stranded on a
desert island, which 5 movies would you want to have with you?

These are the five movies (okay, there
are two trilogies in there) that I could watch over and over and over.
